Velocity 2X Coming to Multiple New Platforms

FuturLab is partnering with Sierra Games to bring Velocity 2X to PC, Mac, Linux and Xbox One. No release date was given, but a blog post on Activision's Games Blog states that the ports will be released this summer.

"Self publishing is HARD. I spent more time doing PR and marketing on Velocity 2X than I spent designing levels." Said FuturLab's James Marsden. "I became a bottleneck for the whole project. That was far from ideal."

"Thanks to blogging it’s now common knowledge that marketing is just as important as making a great-innovative-artistically-stunning-multiple-award-winning-GOTY (some people might say more important). So, given that marketing is vital to success, who could be better suited to hold aloft our creations than Sierra? The best bit is that we retain control of our IP."

IGN really liked Velocity 2X when it was released on PS4 and PS Vita last September. In our review, we praised it for its new platforming sections and rewarding challenge, but we thought a few of the levels were a little tedious.
